These marbleized candlestick holders look like an expensive home store find, but they're actually a simple DIY project. Get the look with water, paint, and plain candlestick holders. The project won't take long—you only need an hour or so to prep, paint, and clean up.

For our candlestick holders, we used purple and gold paint. Consider dyeing yours to match a favorite tablecloth or set of dishware. Or use paint that lines up with holiday hues, such as red, green, and silver for Christmas or orange, black, and gold for Halloween. Either way, the marble paint technique is guaranteed to elevate any decor item you dip.

What You Need

Step 1: Prep Space and Bucket

Line a large bin or bucket with a garbage bag, then fill with room temperature water. Make sure the bucket is deep enough to allow you to dunk at least half of the length of the candlestick holders. Place the filled bucket on a waterproof drop cloth.
